UNSPSC 50343206: Frozen worcestershire gooseberries

The variety of gooseberries known as worcestershire gooseberries that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50343206 Frozen worcestershire gooseberries is a Commodity code. State and local governments show minimal recent procurement activity under this specific code; the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations explicitly requesting frozen worcestershire gooseberries or close variants. Instead, recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit broad frozen-vegetable and institutional food-service categories—including frozen mixed vegetables, frozen sliced or diced apples, frozen specialty foods, and general frozen-product lines for state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, and regional parks. The mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests the code either receives sporadic tagging or state procurement offices are applying it as a catch-all for frozen-produce items beyond the specific berry or regional product the code name implies.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC for multiple state-hospital and supported-living-center contracts), state departments of corrections (Oregon ODOC), county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County in Georgia; Gwinnett County in Georgia for senior services), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County, Florida), school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and specialized food-service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Texas dominates recent activity, with at least five state-level IFBs posted between May and August 2026 for frozen and fresh food products destined to state institutions. Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey. A representative recent solicitation is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338V1 (Frozen Food Products), posted July 17, 2026, with bids due August 18, 2026, seeking 106 line items of frozen baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, and vegetables for delivery to 18 state facilities across Texas with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million. Another is the Oregon Department of Corrections' S2910000017684 (Apples, Frozen), posted August 5, 2026, requesting approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with bids due August 19, 2026 and a 5% combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and resident bidders. Neither solicitation explicitly names worcestershire gooseberries; the code's narrow specificity appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement demand.
